"McConnell is a corrupt obstructionist schmuck.."

And unfortunately, he's probably above average for Repubs in Congress. While he may have claimed he'd meet Obama "half way", that "he needs to change" disclaimer kind of means "half way" is not the normal meaning. It means Obama needs to get well to the right of center and THEN they might meet half way.

The Repubs running for President would not allow $1 in increased taxes for $20 in spending cuts. That is not very close to "half way". It's very close to nothing.

If one or two Congressmen had signed an agreement with a sociopath, to defund Govt, it should be a major scandal. That some hundreds did so is scandalous on an epic scale.

"It was stated on the floor of the US Senate, that the most important item on the Republicans agenda was to make Barak Obama a one term President If that means something other then a plan to oppose and disrupt any and all proposals and initiatives by the President, I would invite someone to offer an alternate definition"

McConnell is a corrupt obstructionist schmuck, but two things about that quote: First, it wasn't made on the Senate floor nor (as often asserted) at the beginning of Obama's term. It was said in an interview on the eve of the 2010 elections. Second, in the same interview McConnell also said that he didn't want Obama to fail, only to "change." And he also said that Republicans would meet Obama halfway on some things.

We were discussing US Congressmen. If Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid says "we all hate business and are atheists", then you might take them at their word. When Mitch McConnell says "our top priority is to make Obama fail", I assume he means it.

Some things deserve a specific, researched, and well thought-out reply.

Some things deserve to be called out for the bullshit that they are. I'm not going to waste my day trying to prove to you that Republicans aren't universally opposed to Barack Obama the man no matter what he does and are uniformly bent on destroying the government, or slaves by their signature to people who are.

If someone here posted something like "Democrats are all a bunch of socialists who hate God and hate business", I would also say that's bullshit, and doesn't deserve a better response than that.

Well, I would and I have. But I'd try to be more specific. Just using a bad word and leaving it at that, no one knows what you're trying to say.

You might assume if I have come to a conclusion, then others probably have, as well. So if you can clarify, you might be enlightening a whole bunch of people.
